ANS: D
Montelukast and other leukotriene receptor antagonists are not used to treat acute symptoms. Because they can affect liver enzymes, periodic liver function tests should be performed. Patients taking this drug should not use ibuprofen or aspirin for pain or fever if they have an aspirin sensitivity. Patients will achieve maximum effectiveness if the drug is taken in the evening.
